Capris are having more than a moment; they evoke innocent sexiness—that’s rare in that it’s both timeless and now, once again, trend-forward. They’re bridging the gap between casual cool and elegant sophistication. A summer must-have—without question.
Capri pants are cropped, slim-fitting trousers that hit right about mid-calf between the knee and the ankle. They’re an “in between” garment—not shorts and not quite pants, either. Named after the glamorous Italian island of Capri, the designer Sonja de Lennart created them in 1948 as a tribute to her family’s Mediterranean getaways.
Capris are the perfect transitional piece between spring and summer—a demure way to show some skin when temperatures rise but you’re not quite ready to wear shorts.
Wearing capri pants in 2025 is all about balancing a bit of nostalgic charm with modern twists.
Keep it simple but channel those “power boss” vibes. Rock capris with a fitted white tee, oversized blazer, and kitten heels for instant office chic.
Or balance the narrow capri silhouette with a statement puffy-sleeve top to create an inverted triangle shape. This proportion play creates instant drama—fitted below, voluminous above—for maximum style impact.
